The Talos Principle is a philosophical first-person puzzle game from Croteam, the creators of the Serious Sam series, and written by Tom Jubert (FTL, The Swapper) and Jonas Kyratzes (Infinite Ocean). Players are tasked with solving a series of increasingly difficult series of complex puzzles woven into a metaphysical parable about intelligence and meaning in an inevitably doomed world.
The Talos Principle is free right now at Epic Games Store. It is free until December 29 at 10 AM. Once you claim it, it’s yours to keep.
Honestly everyone here should pick this up now, it's an absolutely AMAZING game, very well done, with some very well thought out puzzles. No shortage of content either, man... I might actually go replay this right now..
Not a big fan of the Epic Games Store but it's not "free" - there are no strings attached. A game is being made free on the store each day for 12 days. There's been some other standouts like Celeste, Superhot and Ape Out as well.
Can you only play them through the Epic store launcher? Can the launcher be deleted and you still have the games?
@Godmars290
And do you pay for the Epic store launcher? Still sounds a lot like free.
@Cikatriz_ESP:
Are you required to keep the Epic store on the same PC as the games in order to play them. If the answer is yes, then there's your ambiguous "free". If you can't see it, don't want to see it, enjoy your "free" games as Epic reminds you that they have a store they "want" you to use.
The EPIC store. A store so good that they need to buy timed exclusives and offer free games just to get you to look at it.
Hey. This is good on the consumer's end. Take advantage of the free games. Typically I do. I still never buy the timed exclusives until they hit other storefronts.
Either counter my statement or leave it be. Nothing I said is innately false, so dumb little comments like this serve no purpose.
Add something substantial to the conversation, or don't be part of it :)
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "The Talos Principle is a masterpiece in puzzle design and strong sci-fi story telling. Now it's the Switch's turn to get hold of this stunning puzzle game."
The Talos Principle is a first-person puzzle game in the tradition of philosophical science fiction.
